Cerro Sarisarinama is a tepui, a flat-topped mountain, in Jaua-Sarisarinama National Park in the far southwest of Bolivar State, Venezuela, near the border with Brazil. It is built of quartzite of the Roraima Formation, dating to the Paleoproterozoic, and its elevation ranges from 300 to 2,350 meters across a summit area of nearly 547 square kilometers. The mountain's name comes from a tale told by the local Ye'kuana people about an evil spirit said to live in caves within the mountain and devour human flesh.
